lizardwizard100 asked:

Mark I’d like to strongly express my opinion that Universes Beyond cards should not be included in non-UB sets. I was really hoping that the inclusion of Transformers cards in The Brothers War boosters would be a one time thing. It depresses me to learn that Lost Caverns of Ixalan will contain Jurassic World cards. Indeed, I will admit that I am not a fan of MTG IP crossovers (if you couldn’t tell) however I am able to “look away” as long as the crossover cards are restricted to UB products. However, I am quite literally forced to interact with UB if I open an Optimus Prime card in my Brother’s War booster. I sincerely hope that WOTC takes this feedback to heart… thanks Mark

Do others feel similarly?

If I wanted a UB product (I don’t), I’d have bought a UB product.

I’d like the smug neckbeards making “yOu CaN jUsT tRaDe ThEm” comments to tell us exactly who is trading with them for these non-competitive bulk rare Transformer cards. The three or four people I know who actually wanted them bought them cheap as dirt online, and nobody else cares about them.

And that’s not just a problem with these cards, tbh. I can count on one hand the number of trades I have made in the past 5 years, and the majority of them were trading a bunch of one kind of full-art land for another. When people want specific singles, they’re way more likely to buy them than to trade for them.

Hey Mark. I don't know how wizards decide which IPs to use for UB sets, but me and my friends would really like a Dark Souls or Elden Ring set like you did with LoTR. Hopefully this is the right place for this request :)

markrosewater answered:

This a great place for requests like that. What properties would you all like to see?

McDonaldland Adventures.

Release a Clown Commander deck helmed by Ronald himself. Premium Big Mac and Chicken McNugget Food tokens. Make “Fry Guy” a creature type. Grimace can be the first purple card. Release special booster packs exclusively as a Happy Meal toy.

we all realize this is where the product line is going right? why wait? mtg

One, I love this, thank you.

Two, I’ve just realized to my own horror that I missed the Z!

And another thing…

Mark Rosewater has been on the record many times saying they don’t want guns in Magic. Like, explicitly said that when they did the Wild West set (i.e. the recently announced Outlaws of Thunder Junction), it won’t have guns.

And FWIW, the OTJ artwork released so far bears this out. Lots of knives, not a single six-shooter in sight.

Given that self-imposed rule … How the frick are WH40K and Fallout acceptable IPs to bring into the game???

i just want consistency because when you are this inconsistent it has to be either stupidity or lies

Reactions to the name “Duskmourn” for the upcoming haunted mansion set reminds me of when I was running an Eberron campaign and sent my players to Fort Deepdark. They looked at me funny and one of them actually asked, “Deepdark? That’s the best name you could come up with?” So I had to bust out the official map of Khorvaire and show them it was not my doing.

Speaking of which, when the heck are we getting a D&D Eberron set? Two sets in Forgotten Realms and not even a hint of Eberron yet? Eberron even has a conflict between 5 major factions as the defining event of the setting!
